In his first news conference after re-election, President Obama said there was still time for a diplomatic solution on Iran’s nuclear program and that Iran could enjoy “peaceful nuclear power” if it meets international obligations.

Diplomacy has failed and international sanctions, though having some effect, have not persuaded the radicals ruling Iran to stop their illicit nuclear program. The economic screws must be tightened.

Iranian leaders did not hide their satisfaction in Mr. Obama’s re-election and the prospect of more negotiations, which, in their view, will buy them more time to develop nuclear weapons.

Professor Pirooz Mojtahedzade, who teaches political geography at Tehran University, said in a recent interview, “Perhaps one reason for Obama’s success in his re-election campaign was his opposition to the warmongering Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] of Israel, which officially eliminated the effect of the Zionist lobby in presidential elections, and the result of this is that the Israel lobby will not have much effect on U.S. politics in the next four years.

“I have no doubt that the U.S. desires negotiations. We must remember the promises by Obama in his first four years to change U.S. politics internally and externally to address international matters peacefully, including Iran’s nuclear energy program through negotiations and peaceful means,” Mr. Mojtahedzade said.

His thoughts were echoed in several other analyses in Iranian media. One said America is in no way looking for a confrontation with Iran and, in fact, has such a confrontation as its red line. Therefore, it’s only natural that the Islamic republic is aware of this limited U.S. strategy and will benefit from it, the analysis argued.

In mid-December, the U.S. military will have only one aircraft carrier positioned in the Persian Gulf region for the first time in two years. At the same time, the Iranian navy said it was kicking off a 10-day exercise in the region.

Not quite:Google translated:"CKD Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that resolving the Palestinian issue does not need war, but needs to be unified Islamic decision to remove the Zionist entity off the map.

According to Mehr news agency said Ahmadinejad said during a news conference in the Pakistani capital Islamabad that the victory Palestinian latter on the enemy Zionist between clearly how fragile this enemy, stressing that the Union between Muslims and take a position of political and economic Hazem against this enemy sponsor defeat without the need for war .On the other hand described Ahmadinejad Zionist entity threats to strike Iran as childish hollow threats, stressing that the Islamic Republic does not pay importance to such threats.In another aspect of his Iranian President called on all peoples to unite and join forces to address the U.S. and Zionist conspiracies aimed to sow discord among the countries of the world to dominate the resources.In conclusion Iranian president reiterated hold Iran to the principle of serious cooperation with all countries in the region to strengthen relations in all areas, and the relentless pursuit to coordinate with them to restore security and stability to its boundaries away from any foreign interference.It should be noted that Ahmadinejad participated in the summit of the Group of Eight Islamic nations known as the D8, which was held Thursday in Islamabad."

Also, maybe this won't be such a bad thing. For the past 10 years the US have favoured 'the stick'. Ahmadinejad's out of office next year, and the guy clearly isn't an idiot. Maybe he will push for a legacy on moving forward with his last year. This will need a bit of give and take, a little forgiveness from both sides.

In a word, is it conceivable that we would back assets out of an area in order to reduce the collateral damage those assets would face if we pulled the trigger on a weapon like a nuke? A weapon that negated the need for what the assets could provide altogether? I'm curious to know if a move like this could be interpreted as such.

New Zealand researcher Trevor Loudon, author of Barack Obama and theEnemies Within, and editor of the highly acclaimed New Zeal blog atTrevorLoudon.com, told this writer during an interview two weeksbefore the election:

" It’s very clear that President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many ofthose around them absolutely “loathe the military,” as Hillary onceput it. [Defense Secretary] Panetta, while he was a congressman, wasvery heavily involved with the Institute for Policy Studies, a veryradical Marxist think tank, which supported the Soviet objective ofsubverting and eviscerating the U.S. military services. Panetta,together with David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and othersin the administration, really do see the U.S. military, as itcurrently is, as the enemy. "

" Most of you ignore that non-human creatures took part in theexercise of those centralising powers without them being neithersuspected nor accessible to your senses. This is so true that theyhave almost very subtly taken control. They do not necessarily standon your material plan, and that is precisely what could make themextremely efficient and frightening in the near future. However, beaware that a large number of your representatives are fighting thisdanger ! "

Holes being dug into crater walls and floors obviously having to do with some kind of mining or earth-moving operations.

There were "nets" over craters, "houses" in which someone obviously lived, except that I couldn't see who - save in one case.

In THAT case, I saw some kind of people busy at work on something I could not figure out. The place was dark. The "air" was filled with a fine dust, and there was some kind of illumination - like a dark lime-green fog or mist.

The thing about them was that they either were human or looked exactly like us - but they were all males- as I could well see since they were all butt-ass naked. I had absolutely no idea why. They seemed to be digging into a hillside or a cliff."

Tehran "should be in a position to produce enough (material) for two or three" nuclear warheads by the summer, if does decide to double output in the next few weeks, said Olli Heinonen, the International Atomic Energy Agency's deputy director general in charge of the Iran file

your seriously wrong taking the Judaic side of everything..what you know as Judaism is The Cabala based religion of Babylon..please read how the Mosaic covenant ended (old testament prophets) and the Abrahamic covenant stood when Jesus recreated Israel into a spiritual nation of born again believers. [new testament doctrine)

All Israel shall be saved..because it has become the true church of Jesus Christ. "I will call My people by another name...yea that would be Christians. "It is Finished" means it's over..no future rapture and repentance is needed. The work is done, the great sacrifice has been made.

No, no sane person wants Sharia law and a religion steeped in 7th century legalism..but you don't have to endure either of the two. Don't pick one because you hate the other. There are no Muslims in the Federal Reserve and there is no real "war on terrorism.

The American "press" keeps from Americans what most of the rest of the world know. Our kids are dying Doorbert..our nation is being destroyed by usury not sharia.

The United States makes very few concessions unilaterally. You can bet there was a deal brokered through back channels -- we cut our aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf, and Iran will....

We'll see what Iran's concession is. But you better believe they're making one, too.

It behooves both sides (U.S. and Iran) to have less of a military buildup in the Persian Gulf. Less buildup means less chance of a mistake occurring that could lead to something neither side wants. The only entity that wants war in this stand-off is Israel; and they want us to fight it for them.
